Homo sapiens.

"Which one is Captain Mishima?"

Hearing the Japanese with a Tokyo accent, Mishima Qinglan was very surprised, but he quickly replied: "My humble Mishima Qinglan is the captain of the Kirishima."

"Hello! I'm the navigator Meng Lin, and this is the toll list." The navigator Meng Lin said while handing over the toll list.

Mishima Qinglan hurriedly took it, and there were English, Chinese, and Japanese content on it. The single charge of the Kra Canal is calculated according to the displacement of the ship. It is 1 gold dollars per 4 tons. If it is less than 1 tons, it is 1 tons. calculate.

The Kirishima was fully loaded with 21.1 tons, and the total cost was 84 gold dollars.

For this fee, Mishima Qinglan said that it is acceptable, which is equivalent to only 8.4 U.S. dollars.

If bypassing the Strait of Malacca will increase the voyage by 1200 kilometers, the transportation cost will increase by 12 US dollars, and by bypassing the Sunda Strait, it will increase by 4000 kilometers and 40 US dollars.

However, Mishima Qinglan saw that on the fee list, the clause was limited to payment in gold dollars, and asked with a little embarrassment on his face: "Uh... I don't have gold dollars here, can I use US dollars or euros?"

"Don't worry, you can sign the bill of payment on behalf of Mitsui Shipping, and then Mitsui Shipping will pay our company gold dollars. If you feel that you can't make a decision, you can use the satellite phone to connect with your company's people." Meng Lin waved his hand .

Mishima Qinglan froze for a moment, then nodded: "I understand."

As for whether Mitsui Shipping will renege on its debts afterwards, Homo sapiens is not afraid of other people's repudiating its debts, and no one can rely on Homo sapiens' debts.

After a while, Mishima Qinglan finished communicating with the subsidiary head office, and he signed the payment slip.

Meng Lin put away the toll bill: "Okay, you weigh anchor and prepare to enter the canal."

Another navigator picked up the walkie-talkie and communicated with the management tower at the west entrance of the canal.

The length of the Kra Canal is 100 kilometers, and the waterway is divided into two.

At this time, the northern channel that the Kirishima entered, the two channels are actually only separated by columns and barbed wire in the middle, and the river is just one.

The West Exit Channel has a depth of 35 meters and a width of 200 meters. Even a ship of 30 tons can easily pass through a channel of this level.

Mishima Qinglan saw that many workers were installing navigation lighthouses on the embankments on both sides.

The Kirishima with a speed of 12 knots took 2 hours to pass the west exit loop, and at this time they entered the sunrise channel.

The so-called sunrise channel is actually an 8.4-kilometer-long nuclear explosion crater area. The channel here is not divided into two north and south channels, but a direct route.

The width of the river here is between 700 and 900 meters, and the water depth in the middle is 100 to 120 meters.

As the first foreign ship to visit Sunrise Lake, Mishima Qinglan saw a very shocking scene.

Within a radius of 10 kilometers, all the trees were completely destroyed, leaving only a small number of scorched tree stumps, especially in the area near Sunrise Lake, where a large area of ​​glass appeared on the ground, shining brightly in the sun .

grunt!Mishima Qinglan swallowed her throat involuntarily: "Pilot Meng, is there really no problem here?"

Meng Lin took out the Geiger detector and pointed to the value on it: "Don't worry! The nuclear radiation level here is much safer than Fukushima, it is 17% higher than that in ordinary sea areas, and it will return to normal levels in a few months. "

"Hehe..." Mishima Qinglan smiled dryly.

Another navigator reminded: "Pay attention to evasion, don't cross the buoy in the middle, there is a container ship approaching ahead."

"Thank you for the reminder." Mishima Qinglan hurriedly pulled the whistle, and then stared at the channel.

When they sailed to the middle of Sunrise Lake, they encountered a 6000-standard container ship from New Luzon Shipping. The distance between the two sides was about 200 meters, and they slowly passed by.

23 minutes later, the Kirishima entered the channel at the east exit of the canal. This section is 52 kilometers long, divided into two channels, north and south, with a width of 200 meters and a depth of 33 to 38 meters.

Along the way, the Kirishima encountered many ships.

I also saw another channel being excavated not far away.

Mishima Qinglan was very surprised by the efficiency and planning of Homo Sapiens. In his opinion, the navigability of the Kra Canal at this time is already very strong.

However, he didn't know that without a separate double-track waterway, it was unqualified and unsafe in the internal standards of Homo sapiens.

And the excavation cost of Homo sapiens is also very low, there is no need to search for it like the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal.

Two and a half hours later.

The Kirishima successfully passed through the Kra Canal, which not only saved 1200 kilometers of voyage and fuel, but also reduced the voyage time by 60 hours compared to detouring Malacca.

In addition, the security has also been greatly improved. After all, there are pirates in the Strait of Malacca, and the surrounding area of ​​the Kra Canal is the territory of Homo Sapiens. If pirates come here to do things, there is a high probability that they will become soldiers.

After Mitsui Shipping Headquarters received the report from Aolan Mishima, it immediately made up its mind to change all its oil and gas transport ships from West Asia to the Kra Canal.

Now that the cost of shipping is soaring, the pressure on Japan's imports and exports continues to increase, which can save transportation costs, so what is a little nuclear radiation.

In terms of radiation resistance, other shipping companies are really inferior to the three shipping companies in Japan.

Other companies are very concerned about the nuclear radiation problem of the Kra Canal, and are worried that the ships will be contaminated by radioactive substances. They can only watch Mitsui Shipping and New Luzon Shipping happily sailing in the Kra Canal.

Chapter 285 Replay

May in the northern hemisphere.

Hot and depressing.

The Pentagon's Strategic Intelligence Room.

Tom and Sullivan hurried back from Mumbai by plane.

And Edward Jackson who flew back from Xiangjiang.

These people all appear in this office.

The air-conditioning in the office is only [-] degrees, perhaps to keep everyone present sober.

As the head of the military intelligence department, Leiding Fan, after exchanging a few words with Tom, the governor of the black ship in Southeast Asia, began the topic of today's meeting.

He called up some pictures first and projected them on the big screen on one side.

"Everyone, let me first conduct an intelligence summary of this Southeast Asian rout."

"First, there is a serious problem in our intelligence department, which wrongly underestimated the power of Homo Sapiens, especially in the intelligence of nuclear bombs, and made a fatal mistake."

Benjamin, head of the Navy, looked aggrieved: "This is also the key to what I want to know. Why can Homo sapiens avoid our intelligence department and complete the development of the hydrogen bomb? Don't tell me, they have geniuses?"

Tom's face was a little embarrassed, and the black boat was to blame for this matter.

Reading Fan continued: "Based on our reanalysis of a series of intelligence and satellite remote sensing data, we found some possibilities."

He turned the chair, picked up the laser pointer and pointed at several satellite remote sensing images and high-precision maps on the big screen.

The areas of these pictures are the Kela Isthmus, the Daung Weng Canal, and the central mountains of Mount Thanoin Thawong.

"This one is from the 19th year of the central mountain range of Thaw Ninthaung Mountain, and this one is from the 20th year... By comparing 4 satellite photos of this area for four consecutive years, we found some traces."

"During the 20 years since the central part of Mount Thawninthaung was set up as a nature reserve, there was some small-scale human activity here."

"From the information on the picture, it can be seen that drilling is being carried out. Before that, our intelligence analysts only thought that this was geological exploration, but now it seems that this is some kind of cover-up device."

"Based on the above information, we reorganized the satellite photos of Hongshawadi, Siam, Luzon, and even Southeast Asia, and found 87 suspected covered areas."

Mark William frowned: "There are also other places in Southeast Asia?"

Redding Fan nodded with a solemn expression: "There are suspicious traces in the mountains of Lancang, Khmer, Annan, and small islands in Malaysia and Java, but without on-site investigation, it is difficult to determine whether it is related to Homo Sapiens has a relationship."

"And I suspect that this is only a very small part. Some areas already have logging and land reclamation activities, or there are mountain villages, which greatly interferes with our intelligence judgment."

Tom added: "It is very difficult for our intelligence agents to operate in Southeast Asia, especially when they enter various mountainous areas, and they are easily discovered by Homo sapiens, so the field investigation is very difficult."

Everyone took a deep breath.

According to this intelligence analysis, all the mountainous areas in Southeast Asia may be the location of the secret base of Homo sapiens.

After all, he thinks that the central part of Wengshan, the 20-kilometer mountain range, was hollowed out by the Homo sapiens company secretly and built into a canal under the eyes of the whole world.

And the area where the Homo sapiens company develops and produces nuclear bombs may also be deep in the mountains or in small islands.

If Homo sapiens had discovered this information before they possessed the nuclear bomb, they could still attack it forcibly.

Now Homo sapiens has an unknown number of nuclear bombs in its hands, and the Council of the City on a Hill behind America will never agree to a large-scale hot war.

What's more, in the small-scale hot war a few days ago, the Pentagon has seen the horror of Homo sapiens, and they are not sure that they can defeat Homo sapiens in a conventional hot war.

Redding Fan reminded: "I suspect that the three-leaf oak that is frequently active in Latin America is very likely to be manipulated by Homo sapiens."

"Shamrock?" Mark William frowned.

Chief of Staff Edward reacted instantly: "Is it because of that dirty bomb?"

Tom also represents the black ship, expressing his agreement with this guess: "Yes, we have investigated the forces with the ability and motivation in the world before, but we have not found any conclusive evidence. Now combined with the past few years, we have been attracted by the events in Latin America. Attention, thus ignoring the changes in Southeast Asia, Homo sapiens is very suspicious.”

"Damn! It must be Homo sapiens, only they dare to be so unscrupulous." Powell, the head of the Air Force, directly gritted his teeth.

Others also recalled it.

They didn't connect the two before because they looked down on those weak chickens in Southeast Asia, and didn't think that the other party had the courage and strength to dare to go to Latin America thousands of miles away to make trouble.

Now combine the madness and strength of Homo Sapien Corporation.

Anyone with a little brain would doubt the relationship between the two.

But so what about doubt.

So what if he was so angry that his mentality exploded.

Facing a villain like Homo sapiens who is not afraid of death and still holds a big bomb, unless America wants to die together, don't bring shame on herself.

As long as Homo sapiens refuses to admit it, any doubts are useless.

Just when everyone was indignant.

Reading Fan continued: "Everyone, the second point I want to make is our internal intelligence leaks."

"Leak the secret?" Edward's eyes flashed in surprise.

Reading Fan's expression was very solemn: "Yes, it's the issue of leaking secrets. We reorganized some intelligence in the past few years and found that the Southeast Asian region where Homo sapiens is located is often easy to find our intelligence agents, and at the same time, we can easily grasp them. Our classified operation."

Tom feels the same way about this: "Our black ship and the Franklin Foundation jointly planned the food war against Luzon, followed by the Mindan Island operation, the Ceylon environmental protection operation, and the death of Joshua, the former black ship governor of Southeast Asia. We've all been caught so easily by our opponents, which makes us suspicious."

Edward recalled that they were planning the Hongshawadi War, and it was also a precise counterattack, which was preempted by Homo sapiens in an instant.

"You suspect that there is a traitor among us?" Benjamin's face was very ugly.

Reading Fan was very straightforward: "It is inevitable that we have an internal intelligence leak, otherwise Homo sapiens would not be able to counter us so easily, the most important thing now is to find out which link is wrong. "

Mark William thought for a moment, and he understood that there must be leaks.

In fact, there was no need for Leiding to speak about this matter, and everyone present knew it clearly.

After all, the exposure of the locations of those high-level nuclear bunkers shows that the interior of America has been infiltrated by Homo sapiens intelligence agencies.

As for the investigation, the council is expected to fully support it, so Mark William said:

"Redding, you cooperate with the Black Ship, FBI and other agencies to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the US military. We must find out the secrets of Homo sapiens, otherwise our actions in the future will hardly threaten Homo sapiens."

"Understood." Leiding Fan nodded seriously.

Tom, who has committed crimes and meritorious service, will naturally not miss this opportunity. In this big rout in Southeast Asia, their black ships also suffered a lot of losses.

Coupled with the previous series of mistakes, now the entire Southeast Asia Black Ship Branch is basically left with a blank shelf.

Next, Leiding Fan brought up several new pictures: "..."

Chapter 286

"The third key point, weapons."

Reading Fan pointed to the photo.

The above lists the various weapons and equipment that Homo sapiens has made public or discovered.

Army equipment: Cobra assault rifle (7mm caliber), Cobra heavy machine gun (12mm caliber), Cobra sniper rifle (12mm caliber), Cobra pistol (7mm caliber)...

Tiger auxiliary exoskeleton armor (can be matched with various general modules), Lynx all-terrain armored vehicle (can be matched with various general modules), Malayan amphibious armored vehicle, Sumatran tiger light tank...

Naval equipment: 43 Manila-class frigates, 8 Luzon-class amphibious assault ships, and 3 Grand Luzon-class amphibious assault ships.

One giant submarine with a displacement of 1 to 7 tons (suspected to be nuclear powered), at least 8 or more large submarines, and an unknown number of small submarines.

Another 173 large coast guard ships, 22 supply ships, 12 large hovercraft, and 27 special ships.

Its navy is equipped with special giant guns, near-invisible large and small drones, Seahawk fighter jets (one of the improved versions of the MiG 25), special silent mines and torpedoes.

Air Force equipment: Eagle fighter jet (one of the improved versions of MiG 25), owl helicopter, large and small drones, Jinpeng transport aircraft (can be changed to bomber and early warning aircraft).

Special weapons and equipment: Longerang cannon, armed satellites (suspected).

After reading the introduction of these equipment, all the US military generals present face up to the strength of Homo sapiens.

Redding Fan pointed to one of the vague satellite pictures: "Among these weapons, the most threatening to us is undoubtedly the super submarine and the Longerand cannon."
